My 1st Generation Tundra I purchased in 2000 at Lemon Grove Toyota. Now 26 years later I wanted to have my tailgate refinished, the scope of work install a new stock handle and body work consisting of sheet metal recontouring and welding on the upper right corner. The finished repair allowed the aluminum tonneau cover to properly seal rain from entering the the bed of the truck. We are heading to Bend, Oregon seeing our son's new family addition Summit who will be 1 year on June 24th and mine the following day the 25th. Jose the Owner, was solid our 1st get together discussing scope of work, duration of Project to Final Paint was handled to my expectations. A much appreciated aspect of the job was to figure a way to have the tailgate worked on while I still used the Truck, one check paid to get appropriate for the startup - then as job was progressing past Priming stage I came back to the shop check'd for fit and by this past Saturday May 30th I again stopped by the Shop. Looked everything over and contently took my Tundra Home. Jose quoted the price after our initial meeting an initial amount down to start the work and, the final amount due upon completion. Key ! Jose knows how events in his line of work work best - knows the business and therefore the Client feels comfortable - costs were fair and Time of Work Right on the Money - I very much feel Nancy and I were the recipients' of a Job well done and I added a friend to my Good Group of Associates. I had a very Good Experience - Jose Please extend our Thankfulness to your Crew. Sincerely, Bob & Nancy Huber read more

As a single woman I was afraid to go to the auto body shop for a repair a pothole did to my car. It was unexpected and money is tight. Jose, gave me a complete description of the damage, realistic fixes at different prices, but safety was the main concern. Jose was honest, experienced and kind. He did what he could to keep the cost fair and have the car repaired as quickly as possibly. The car is perfect again, and I highly recommend Jose and his crew, especially for single women not wanting to be taken advantage of. read more

Worked with the team at North County to paint a matte Mercedes side mirror. I had contacted multiple highly rated business on yelp but most wouldn't work on a matte paint job. North county not only took the job we worked with multiple paint samples to find the best fit to the factory finish. Communication and quality of work were great. I will bring them more business in the future. read more

North County Autobody & Paint - Passenger side mirror - Body Shops Near Me - Oceanside, California

Junior and his team did an awesome job on my truck. I have an old 95 toyota. They were able to find original parts and color match the paint perfectly. You would never know anything happened. They are super responsive and friendly. If I need auto body or paint services in the future, I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm writing this review because I know it's hard to choose someone when dealing with your vehicle. My car had been wrecked for over a year. I took it to a few places to get quotes and N. County Autobody gave me the best rate but that's not why I chose them. After speaking to the owner and seeing this is his passion, I was ready to hand over my keys. I didn't think my car would ever look new again and I'm glad I was wrong. They did an AMAZING job. Not only does it look new, it drives like it's new again too. As if that wasn't enough, they cleaned my car before handing the keys back to me. Having 5 cars, they've earned a lifetime customer! read more

It honestly looks better than new. You can tell they take real pride in their work. I couldn't recommend them more and will definitely be coming back if I ever need repairs again. read more

If you are looking for an excellent and reasonable auto shop look no further. The work I had done made my car look like nothing had happened. It was perfect. The owner Jose Ramos was personable and extremely honest. He had told me that there was a good chance I would need new molding and would not know until they went to put car back together and I was pleasantly surprised that when I picked it up he used my original molding and saved me money. He could have easily told me I needed it and I would have never known. I can definitely highly recommend this place to anyone who needs work done on their car and want peace of mind that what they are being told is honest. So lucky I found this place!!!! read more

Excellent workmanship! I was able to get my car fixed with expert and friendly service! I highly recommend Jose and his family!

Just had my bumper repaired by this company yesterday! Great job! It looks beautiful, they stayed in touch throughout the whole process, they did it on time, and the price was right! Thanks, Jose Jr.! read more

Excellent work! I got in a fender bender that damaged my bumper and suspension and Jose Jr was able to take me last minute after getting towed by AAA. The level of damage to suspension was unknown but Jose clearly communicated what the damages were as well as sourced some aftermarket options to bring the cost down. While waiting for the parts over the next couple weeks he called me and followed up to let me know the status, and I always felt that he had my best interests in mind during this process. Thank you Jose and North County Auto Body! read more

I took my 2003 VW Eurovan to North County Auto Body for repairs due to being rear ended. The vehicle had serious damage and the parts are no longer available. Jose went above and beyond and found all the necessary parts and did an amazing job at an incredible price. I highly recommend this establishment for all your auto body needs. read more

Jose and his family run this business and they all do a top-notch job and are wonderful to work with. My car looks brand new and I had priced the work out in a few places. They gave me a good price and I couldn't be happier with their work. Would definitely go back there and I highly recommend them. read more

it was a pleasure dealing with Jose Junior. He kept me posted every day. I highly recommend calling Jose Junior and having him help you.

This place does great work and the prices are very reasonable, highly recommend! Customer service was amazing as well.

My 2003 was totaled by my insurance company. The auto body shop they sent me to said the estimate was $120 over the threshold and that had to total it. For a dent! I went to North County Auto Body and Jose Jr helped me out. First, his estimate was $600 cheaper than the first one. My insurance company agreed and reversed the total process. Jose worked with me and my insurance to make sure to keep the cost under the amount where they would have to total it. He told me that he couldn't even go up $50 or they would. He kept it under and I picked up my car on Tuesday. They did a great job and Jose even gave me a great deal on replacing my radiator. I was quoted $1600 6 months ago and Jose did it for a small fraction of the cost. I highly recommend this place especially if you're having trouble finding a body shop that works on older cars. read more

My new car was keyed all the way around so I brought it to Junior and he made it look like new. It's literally perfect and he's super responsive and helpful! Handled everything with my insurance and kept me updated on my car the entire time. I'm so happy to have my car back looking like new! read more

I highly recommend North County Auto Body & Paint. They do great work for a reasonable price and are personable and professional. I am truly impressed with the final result. Junior and the team went above and beyond. I needed a complete repaint of my car because the paint wore down. I requested quotes and other information from a few other shops and North County Auto Body & Paint provided the most thorough response and reasonable quote. Junior was great to work with, he answered all of my questions and offered helpful insight throughout. read more

Tony provided excellent service on all fronts. Very quick turnaround time on my estimate, appt date offered within a couple days and work performed same day. I was blown away at the quality of the work. This place is like going back in time when customer service and quality are top priority read more

I had a neighbor back into me and wanted to just pay the repair so we didn't need to use insurance or anything. Totally fine by me. I came here first for an estimate and Jose Jr was totally gracious and helpful, and gave me all the fees upfront, told me an expected timeline.. I felt like he was good people. I did my due diligence and got another quote which was pretty similar in cost. But the other place made me uneasy and I only went based on someone else's recommendation. I'm glad I went back to North County Autobody & Paint where I felt comfortable. It's close to home, I'm a long time Oside resident here, so it was nice to have that within walking distance and when I went back to bring my car, I spoke with Jose Sr. who was also kind and helpful. I left my car for a week, because I went out of town for work, and the timing was actually perfect. And when I came back my car was complete, and beautiful like nothing had ever happened. Thank you guys for the great work!! I appreciate it! Definitely will recommend 100% read more

My S2000's paint had seen better days, as well as all the scratches and dings I've collected over the years. I requested a quote through yelp and Jose was very responsive, and his quote was very reasonable especially since I wanted a color change (from red to black). I really appreciated the process and getting updates with where Jose's team was at. I can tell they genuinely take pride in the quality of work they produce. I am so incredibly happy with how my car turned out. It's a giddy feeling to feel like my car is brand new again. 110% will reccommend them to anyone looking for body/paint work on their car. read more

I just had my 2005 Toyota Camry painted and to my surprised the car looks like just came out of the dealership. My 2 daughters that were ashamed driving the car now wanted to drive it. Jose and his wife did an amazing job to my car, plus they cleaned/buffed the headlights to my liking. I had about 8 shops quoted me for the job but NC Autobody and Paint gave me the best quote. The length of time, the price, the quality of work were all to my satisfaction. Jose and his wife were great people, they treat their customer well, they're honest and have good personality. Thank you Jose. read more

North County Autobody & Paint - Body Shops Near Me - Oceanside, California

Quality work, reasonably prices and very quick turnaround. I would definitely use them again

I was in a minor fender bender and found North County Autobody & Paint on Yelp - so grateful they popped up! Jose's first question when I called in to ask about a repair was "are you okay?" They repaired the car immediately working with my travel plans, coordinated with the other driver, and did an excellent job on top of the service. I highly recommend them and they will be my go to body shop moving forward. read more

I had a part painted there and Jr took care of me, courteous and informative, the part was well painted following the vins code for the exact Paint needed read more

My car was keyed. North Coast gave me an estimate, did the work and had the car finished a day ahead of time! Friendly, responsive service and most importantly, did a great job. read more

Please avoid this shop. Took my vehicle in mid-Sept and Jose Sr. convinced me their 4-star, 4 coat paint / clear package would be the ideal. I agreed, and the price was fair. Waited 2 weeks for my appt and delivered the vehicle Oct 4. Jose Jr. advised it would take 3 weeks - 4 week tops. I waited 3 weeks (just before Halloween) and then visited for a progress check. Vehicle had been minimally sanded - basically all scuffed up. Jose Jr. advised vehicle will be done by Thanksgiving. I began weekly visits and progress was minimal each time. By Thanksgiving the vehicle had not yet even been prepped for paint. Jose Jr. advised it would be ready by Christmas. Continued weekly visits and vehicle was finally painted Dec 6 - 2 months after it was brought in. During polishing, the fender was damaged as was the camper shell they had stored. No one worked on the now damaged vehicle the entire next week until I complained to Jose Sr. By then the shop was down to 3 unsupervised workers. Father and son were rarely on premise. Finally, on Dec. 23 when the vehicle was once again parked in their storage area un-touched, I retrieved the unfinished and still partially disassembled vehicle. - their 3rd promised and missed completion date.I finished the project myself with the help of a professionally managed body shop and local detailer. (My out of pocket expense and time. ) If you choose to contract with this entity, (not recommended) be sure not to advance very much of the contract amount - progress payments are recommended. Also get in writing a committed completion date and penalty clause (i.e. lowered contract amount each week it is overdue). Shop is disorganized, trash strewn everywhere, no logical work flow or process evident. Work assignments seem random and their buddies clearly get cuts in line.Management, organization and communication skills are lacking. read more

My Toyota pick-up needed some love. I visited 6 different AutoBody shops in North County before I met Junior. His patience, expertise and pricing was far better than the other spots I went to for quotes. My truck had 30 years of damage from deep scratches, dents, rust, holes resulting from rust and extreme exposure to sun and sea weather. We needed to take the front windshield off. Soon discovered more rust damage. Junior called with options that was well priced and I was happy to get his guidance. I wanted the original black paint job with the Toyota decal on the tail. That had been missing for so many years and I hated that it was gone. Junior let me know that the original decals probably weren't available anymore, especially after all these years. He was able to miraculously add the logo and I'm soooo happy! The overall paint job reminds me the day I drove it off the dealership lot. Junior restored my truck that means a lot to me. The shine and finish is pure magic. All the dents are gone - I keep running my hand along the body in amazement. This Body Shop was so accommodating that they even allowed me to have a mobile window replacement guy come in and do the work in their yard. The final detailing was fantastic. Even the truck liner looked brand new! This was definitely not a rush job and I appreciate the patience and detail they took. I am beyond happy. I can't thank Junior enough for restoring this truck for me. I will always recommend their work and stand by the results of my experience. read more

This shop is excellent and the people that run the show are really helpful. Jose Sr and Jose Jr are a great team, they deliver when they promise. I've taken three vehicles for work to them, great quality work, reasonably priced, prompt turnaround. Highly recommend! read more

The reason we chose this place to fix my dad's vehicle after his accident was because of the seemingly great reviews and the initial friendly demeanor of Jose Sr. He told us they had been in business there for over 40 years and so I thought that they would have a really professional and customer oriented business. Sadly mistaken!! Wish we never found this place. COMMUNICATION: On several instances, both AAA and I tried getting a hold of this place to try and get updates on when the fixes would be done, but we were often met with no one picking up or a few times, the phone was offline or wouldn't ring. When we finally COULD get a hold of them, they would tell us dates but would never deliver on those dates, and if they had to push the dates back, the only reason we would know about it was because we would call them a day or two AFTER the date they told us. They never ever contacted us on their behalf. What kind of business runs this way? I even had to try and contact them through YELP questions because there seemed to be no way to get a hold of them aside from making a visit to their shop, which was hard for me because I reside in Orange County. Even tried to make us feel like it was our fault for not coming in on a date he had told us the car would be done, but how can you trust his word after several times of pushing the date back?? I asked him to let us know and call us if the job was truly done. Of course, he never did and I had to call him to find out it was done. QUALITY OF WORK: A job that they told us would take a few weeks ran well over a month, and the job really isn't even complete because there are still pieces missing from the car. My father has had to take his car back in 3 times already because they didn't do a good job on the fitting of the doors and they were bent so air was coming in all over the place. The doors to this day still don't sit right and there are strange gaps here and there. Also, they didn't even replace some of the highly visible trim pieces, so we had to have them order new ones. Also, they completely didn't even put on a piece of trim that covers an open hole along the door, and we have been waiting for this piece for over 2 weeks now. I called yesterday and they told us they would check to see if they received it and would call me back in an hour or two. Of course, they never did. To this, we are just going to give up and count it as another loss because it is not worth the hassle for my parents to visit a 4th time and to try and deal with this horrible service. TIME: Because of the constant pushing back of dates and delays, my parents had to pay out of pocket initially for the rental car because AAA only offers 30 days for a rental and we were told that was more than what was needed. The only positive out of this entire ordeal was that they agreed after explaining our side that they should cover this extra amount, which Jose begrudgingly agreed. Literally, if you count the extra fixes that were required and the pieces that were missing and the extra visits, a job they told us should take a couple of weeks turned into over 3 months. THAT'S CRAZY. Who runs a business like this?? I will say that Jose Jr. seemed slightly more helpful than Sr. if you REALLY want to take a risk with all of the headaches of trying to get some decent help on your autobody work at this shop, I guess try and speak with him from the get go, but if you can't tell already, my conclusion is: I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP. Go elsewhere if you want to avoid headaches and waste time and effort at every step. read more

I requested an online quote through the app. This was one of the cheaper quotes I was given. I was giving close to a range of $700-$1500. It's was $780 here. Honestly going into it I wasn't expecting a lot. Based on it being at a lower price point. But the truck is flawless. Literally no complaints, cannot recommend it more. I did only have paint work done. So I can't speak upon the bodywork done at the shop, but it is good as a paint I would highly recommend this shop. Good work, good customer service, They know what they were doing, and at a extremely competitive price read more

Jose Jr and the whole North County Autobody team did a wonderful job on my 2000 Civc beater. I've been receiving non-stop compliments from neighbors, my mechanic and friends. They blew my mind. My car has close to 303k in mileage. The paint was stripping down to the base plus there was extensive body work needed in addition to my neighbor recently hitting it and wanting to pay out of pocket as opposed to going thru insurance. I was completely amazed at the job they did. It's perfect. They resurrected the car and made it look almost brand new. I highly recommend them and their team. Before and afters to accompany soon. read more

I had dented my truck pretty badly on a Saturday morning and this shop was the only shop in the area that took my truck in on such late notice. Not only was I offered a competitive price for the job, Junior also helped me find a car rental for a fairly cheap price with some charges waived. I was in constant communication with the shop and they provided timely updates for when I would get my truck back. Overall, I felt extremely cared for and I could not be happier with the result. I hope I dont have to come back but if I find myself in a similar situation, I would absolutely bring back my truck back to this shop. read more

I was helped out for my partners car, took about 3 months the moment I received it I noticed less than a week of having it, the blind spot camera was never "aimed" so I gave a call. They've always told me they were going to call me back and never did, I kept calling and calling, no call back. I finally went in person about less than two months ago trying to get it fixed for the camera because I felt like they kept avoiding my calls and i told the shop I need this car fixed before my partner comes home (literally tomorrow). The person told me they were unfortunately unable to fix it due to their system, and they have to call their friend in order to get their system to help us fix the Blindspot camera but it's appointment only. I told him to please let me know, since I will be having another job soon. Due to having two jobs I am unable to go to them and the guy who works there did state he would text me. Never did. I still appreciate the help that was already done but the lack of communication and needing this issue being resolved is not ok. read more

After my 1992 RV driver side front end crunched and going through two other shops and AAA, finally found North County Auto Body and Paint in Oceanside, a family run shop by Jose Sr and Jose Jr.   There was a search for new and/or used replacement parts, then repair and paint.  Picked her up when promised. Think she came out looking pretty good! Only complaint they were sometimes hard to get a hold of so keep trying, they'll get back to you. Thanks Jose read more
